    Good morning, Loungettes!  I've had a totally lazy weekend.  Did absolutely nothing but sleep and read all day Sunday, and most of the day Saturday.  Didn't even get on the computer yesterday.  Talk about LAZY!

    Wahine--senoir dogs, senior parents--they both seem to go through a lot of the same things, don't they? 

    Karen--I hope you had an easy fast, and it sure sounds like your breaking of the fast was yummy.  I know about nervous eating, I do it too.

    BBBBBernie--LOL!!!!!!

    Cammy--lots of people use the alarms on their phones to manage pills, I think it's a great idea, and I can imagine how funny it was to have all those alarms going off with different rings at a family get together!!

    Thanks for the Dotty Update! 

    Orlando Lara--Sounds like the interviews are going well.  it's good when you don't have to say "no" to a job you don't want when you may feel pressured to say "yes" just to have a job.  Praying for Tuesday's interview. 

    Juliet--LOL!!!  Did you ever see "Menopause the Musical"?  It's a hilarious play. 

    Becs--Hooray for coming out ahead at the casino.  Good luck at the new job! 

    Well, ladies, time for me to get ready for work.  Gonna be a long day, I think.  Tomorrow I see a pulmonologist for the first time, should be interesting.  Now if I can just find some energy to work with. . .

    HAPPY MONKEY DEY!!! 

    Hoping for less pain for Dorkie and Lara, for sure! Hope you find some energy,NM! And I hope your pulmo appt goes well tomorrow, as well as Lara's interview tomorrow.

    Becks, Happy New Job Today!!!!

    Good DOTD NM, I think we can all handle that one!!! lol.

    Cami, Yes that WAS so funny thinking of all those alarms for pill taking going off on so many cell phones all day! I would set an alarm for my mom but she prolly wouldn't hear it. Unless it was one of those alarm clocks with humongous bells, but those I think have to be wound every day. OR she would just turn it off and not get her pills! My dad goes to the dentist this ayem, a tooth broke, or part of the veneer broke off, or something. Anyway, its on the way to the store they always drive to (just 3 mi away), so am letting my mom take him.

    Carpe Diem....seize the "monkey" day! Dwink up, Ladiezzzzzzz....

    Heard from her this ayem....still in pain, still swollen, but I think they were going to aspirate to get the fluid down, so she was looking forward to that.

    Love that dog pic, Julie!

    Ciao for Niao!!

    My husband and i were dressed and ready to go out for a lovely evening of dinner and theatre. Having been burgled in the past, we turned on a 'night light' and the answering machine, then put the cat in the backyard. When our cab arrived, we walked out our front door and our rather tubby cat scooted between our legs inside and ran up the stairs. Because our cat likes to chase our budgie we really didn't want to leave them unchaperoned so my husband ran inside to retrieve her and put her in the back yard again.

     Because i didn't want the taxi driver to know our house was going to be empty all evening, i explained to him that my husband would be out momentarily as he was just bidding goodnight to my mother. A few minutes later he got into the cab all hot and bothered, and said (to my growing horror and amusement) as the cab pulled away.

     "Sorry it took so long but the stupid bitch was hiding under the bed and i had to poke her arse with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off so i grabbed her by the neck and wrapped her in a blanket so she wouldn't scratch me like she did last time. But it worked! I hauled her fat arse down the stairs and threw her into the backyard....she had better not shit in the vegetable garden again."

     The silence in the taxi was deafening.....

    DH had to wake me up this morning to tell me that my alarm was going off!!!  Its an old, old clock radio and the music was playing and I didn't hear it....of course it was not even a minute that it was going!!!  Ddin't realize that I set it as I figured I would sleep in a bit....but nope, alarm off at 5:15, so got up at 5:20....wanted to sleep in a bit...maybe till 6.....didn't go to bed till 1 aye am and then couldn't fall asleep!!!  the bedroom was nice and cool but I was hot.....so NOT enough sleep....looking forward to TH, F when I can sleep in till 7!!!! and of course the week-end too......DD and SIL arrive this morning......can't wait to see them....

    Bernie....where do you find all the jokes!!! this one had me at 1st.....but I should know better if you posted it!!!!

    Beckers.....so whats the verdict on the new job?  do you like it so far?

    Fall is upon NM.....not quite here yet.....so much to dig out from all the flooding in parts of Colorado...they are saying its going to take a year!!  so much devastation, homes lost...people who lost everything!!  I can't even begin to imagine.....my neighborhood was un touched than goodness!!!  Feel so blessed this way...tomorrow they are having a telethon to raise money for flood victims...I've already given to 2 charities that are donating 100% to victims and will donate again tomorrow....lots of people are out there helping others clean up...I would if I wasn't working...I know poor excuse!!!

    Speaking of working...haven't been able to fully relax in the mornings the past 2 days so you know what that means!!!  but time to get dressed so atleast I can get a walk even if I can't "relax" for my morning constitution (okay sorry for tmi)......

    Sure hope DorK gets to go home today BUt that also she continues to rest at home so she can fully heal!!!  She needs to be a good girl and take care of herself!!!  

    Have a great day!!!

    Karen i hope u have a good day today, and all the people and destruction--Will they name it a disaster state, do u think> I hope so.

    It's staying cool here for a while it seems, I really like it I had to wear a light jacket during the daytime yesterday, Joey is home sick again today--he was burning up last nite, so I'm always cold so I cuddled with him and put my cold hands on his face and his warm body felt good. I was like his giant ice cube and he was my heating pad.

    I hope Dork is going home today.

    Hi goils,

    Interview went well I will know next week

    Did my best

    Back is a little better

    My pain doc is trying to drop me as a patient

    Pee test came back zero drugs in my system which is hilarious I'm the pill queen

    Obvious mistake if he doesn't let me re test ill sue I'm actually go to get tested at a clinic tomm

    Then the nurse said I threaten her

    All I did was raise my voice why the MRI request was never sent!

    And she hung up in me

    Of course she doesn't tell the doc that

    I take panic anxiety meds 12 years told the doc so he says he will call my crazy doc

    Crazy doc says pain doc is nuts

    Good news ! I had to call my teacher she was responding to everyone but me so I do this online I'm thinking great she's not seeing my posts on the discussion board

    Well turns out its the opposite she thinks I'm the leader in class and she has nothing to say because it's excellent work

    Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh

    A man went to the doctor complaining of insomnia. The doctor gave him a thorough examination, found absolutely nothing physically wrong with him, and then told him, "Listen, if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your troubles to bed with you."

                           "I know," said the man, "but I can't. My wife refuses to sleep alone."

    My first Good Morning-

    Bernie I usually wake up to u making me smile TY.

    Well I hope everyone has a good humpafriend day--work week 1/2 way done, for those who work anyway. I think almost everyone here works-OOHHH

    Well today might be Dorks day out, or at least another day, I know she's feeling better but that doesn't always mean u go home--they'd better make sure this time.

    Lara did u sleep OK last night.? I hope so--u need good rest--Pain is very tiring

    Julie are u completely OK with u'r arm now?

    Kat How is u'r DD doing now is she more comfortable and DD2 what's going on? Prayers always going u'r way.

    Karen we won't hear from u for a couple of days now, but u get to enjoy u'r DD and SIL.

    NM u'r weather should be pretty good now or to cool. LOL

    Becs tell us about u'r friend starting when u get home and how it goes.

    Lara today is scary movie day for me, yesterday I didn't watch any, plus i know I'll be napping too. It's to early for me now.

    I filled a cart on my on-line computer today--I never do that but I'm spending about 80.00 today on ME--I'm going to do it--I need a few things so what the hell--we're always broke anyway I might as well enjoy something--I need winter shoes so badly and some lotion for my wrinkly face and a chillow pillow for my SIL--haha It's my money but I feel like I'm taking something away here. hahaha Oh and some new reading glasses--3 for 10.00 and of course they are kookie looking. I need sttronger ones. So I put everything in a cart and I'll go back as soon as I check with the bank.

    I hope everyone has a good day--I just checked the weather it's going to be 80 today and 87 tomorrow WTF--
